Lovely post

I've received lots of lovely things in the post recently.  Firstly lots of lovely 10" squares of Echino as part of a swap organised by Sew Sweetness

And a prize - 6 mini charms packs from I'm a Ginger Monkey's lovely Quilt Market giveaway.

My prize


Now I just need to decide what to make with it all - answers on a postcard please (or in the comments box below!)


PS - check out this exciting news from Katy, Lynne & the Fat Quarterly gang - it has made my day, week, month.

Fresh Modern Bee 2 - the end

Things have been a little hectic yesterday and there hasn't been a lot of sewing going on and what has been sewn hasn't been blogged so there will be a few catch up posts.


First up is my last Bee Block for Fresh Modern Bee 2 is for Yvonne from Nellies Niceties 


Flower Block for FMB2


I am hoping this looks like the tulip I had in mind. . . . .

And to finish off the Bee - a mosaic of all the blocks I made.  Hopefully I will be posting a finished quilt top of the blocks made for me by the end of the year.
